@ridingontheboys Hello, darling! Sorry I'm replying so late I feel really bad about this, but to answer your question(s). All I really did was start writing and posted my chapters. One of my Wattpad 'Buddies' would promote my book in her story, so I got a lot of reads from that. And the votes just come and go honestly.
I know you didn't ask for this but I know when I first started writing on Wattpad I was terrified that everyone was going to hate my stories, but as I began to write I didn't really care what people thought about my story because I loved doing it so why should I allow someone to bring me down? Now, don't get me wrong a lot of votes and reads are fantastic, but don't worry about those because they will eventually skyrocket, I promise!
I can't wait to read someone of your work(s)!!! Hope this answers your questions, Happy Writing Darling!(:
